Coming Climate Crisis Consider the Past, Beware the Big Fix ReviewI have just finished reading Claire Parkinson's book "Coming Climate Crisis?" and I am very impressed with it. Her grasp of the principles of scientific investigation and the uses of scientific and "scientific?" information is both broad and deep. She has done a great job of outlining the background of climate science and climate change, what people can do right and do wrong, and the perils of jumping to conclusions and basing actions on inadequate data, imprecise and incomplete analyses, and media hype that takes the place of reasoning. Her conclusions on the dangers of geoengineering are cautious and sound and I hope that she will be listened to, both by the climate community and, the public and the press. Unfortunately, because she are both right and quiet, she may well become a Cassandra in the climate community.
She states (p. 338) "I have no confidence that objectivity and levelheadedness will prevail." Exaggeration, the desire for fame, and the need to do something "now" will always overwhelm clear thinking, the need to wait for the right answer instead of the quick one, and the desire to make a quick buck from a supposed crisis.
I am not an expert in the climate field but I am a scientist with a lot of experience. She is correct in doubting the integrity of some scientists who are quick to jump on a bandwagon and even quicker to jump off it when the tide of informed opinion turns.
Her chapter on "Compounding Social Pressures" is about the best that I have read on the relationship between science and society and it should be required reading for university science students. And her "Closing Plea" should also be read and heeded by any and all of those who raise their voice in the climate debate, whether scientists, laymen, or politicians.
